Art and Sustainability: connecting patterns for a culture of complexity: 2nd edn.
Transcript. 2013
What is the cultural dimension of sustainability?
This book often a thought-provoking answer,
with a theoretical synthesis on “cultures of sustainability”.
Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability,
to which the arts are contributing, Sacha Kagan engages us in
a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world.
We must learn not to be afraid of complexity,
and to re-awoken a sensibility to patterns that connect.
With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years,
and a discussion of art and social change, the
book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.
